Aadesh Srivastava (4 September 1964 – 5 September 2015) was a music composer and singer of Indian music. Over the course of his career, he had composed music for over 100 Hindi films. Just a day after he turned 51, he died of cancer in Kokilaben Hospital.[1]

Born in a Hindu Kayastha family in Jabalpur, Shrivastava got his first big break with film Kanyadaan in 1993. Among the singers who sang in this movie, there was Lata Mangeshkar who sang his first song - Oh Sajna Dilbar, a duet with Udit Narayan which became popular in radio. But the film and the rest of songs went unnoticed. The same thing happened with Jaane Tamanna, but he bounced back with Aao Pyaar Karen. One track "Haathon Mein Aa Gaya Jo Kal" was a hit. His other films are Salma Pe Dil Aa Gaya and Shastra. The chart buster "Kya Ada Kya Jalwe Tere Paro" from the film Shastra got him in the limelight once again.

It was again reported in the media on 31 August 2015 that his cancer had relapsed for a third time since 2010 and that he had been hospitalised for more than a month. He died, in a coma, at 12:30 A.M. IST at Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital & Medical Research Institute, Mumbai, on 5 September 2015, a day after his 51st birthday.[14] He was cremated at Oshiwara crematorium in Mumbai at around 5 PM on the same day. Numerous people like Amitabh Bachchan, Anil Kapoor, Himesh Reshammiya, Sonu Nigam, etc. attended his funeral. He is survived by his wife and their two sons.
